Welcome

Dear Candidate,

Thank you for expressing an interest in the role of Assistant Director, Enterprise Partnerships. I hope you find the information provided on this site helpful.

Anglia Ruskin is a modern, thriving university dedicated to achieving impact through our research and innovation activities, thus benefitting our partners, regions and the nation. We have ambitious plans for the future and are determined that our students and staff will realise their full potential. With a new Vice Chancellor, these are exciting times for us as we are embarking on a new chapter in our development as one of the leading East of England universities.

The Research and Innovation Development Office (RIDO) provides strategic support to our Faculties to drive research and innovation. In the context of a new university strategy which states ‘we will deliver a step change in our research capacity to maximise its impact for the communities we serve.’ the office is a critical part of helping the university reach its potential. The Enterprise Partnerships team within RIDO plays a key role in making this happen through developing partnerships between our academic staff and external organisations, thus enabling impact and generating income. We are looking for a person who wants to make a real difference to the university’s future to provide strategic direction to the team in this exciting time.

As such we are looking for an experienced professional who has a track record of leading a team in the development of strategic, income generating partnerships with a range of organisations including business, government and third sector.
